game starts so ungodly slow i was convinced it was a worse game than hey pikmin
but it really comes into its own once you get past the first area
ice pikmin are broken but not as fun as purples in 2
glow pikmin are very cool
oatchi really fundamentally changes a lot of aspects of combat and multitasking and its really hit or miss for me most of the time
rushing into 90% of enemies with oatchi then having them frozen by your ice pikmin just completely permastunning them even harder than purples in 2 is just not very interesting
and having to collect material to craft a bunch of mechanics which were either base kit in previous games or unlocked through defeating a boss/something way more interesting i think is lazy
BUT
really good enemy variety, caves are for the most part all interesting, side missions are fun, and a great final boss
